   mamacashew replied to mamacashew's topic in Indiana

   I finally went and got my books, and the lady that "helped" me kept telling me I needed the small nursing diagnosis handbook and I told her "no it's in the box". I had already emailed to find out the contents of the box. She swore up and down, that ...

    Do a search for the courses. The books are now required by law to be listed. And all the ISBN's for fall are there. I will warn you though, most of the fundamentals books are packaged together in a bundle.

    I was just wondering if anyone else on here is going to be entering the nursing program at Ivy Tech's Fort Wayne campus this fall. Would love to get to know a few people before the semester actually starts!

15. Pharmacology online?

    mamacashew replied to mamacashew's topic in General Students
